I posted the same case a few pages back, the brand is called benks, that one sold on amazon is the same product just imported from china at a inflated price.

mine cost aproximate USD 15.5 benks case with benks glass protector, or USD 10 for just the case, it's cheaper to get it from china using a taobao agent, and you also get a two piece pack benks WM port rubber plugs and Hi Res sticker.

This is the link, so just use a Taobao agent.

If you need to know, this is another one, non branded one, cost at USD 11, but I like the benks one more, and I also have the benks on my ZX 2.

That's a pretty good deal! Couple questions... does it have 3.5/4.4mm dust caps? And do you have any pics of the case on your Walkman??

No it doesn't have dust caps for the 3.5/4.4.

May be you won't believe me, I don't have a WM1A/1Z, I will be buying one in December during my visit to Japan, just got the accessories in advance since I was getting other stuff from Taobao, so I might as well get these, by the time it gets to December, Sony prbably would have released another walkman.

But I do have the same case for my Sony ZX 2, they have always had a good fit, I got two for my ZX 2 incase it doesn't last, but the case has been on my Zx 2 for 2 years now, and the case is like 98% new.

I don't have one either lol. I can get the 1A next day delivery but case and balanced cable will probably be weeks away so I'm tempted to get those first.

Hey! Just a quick question :) I'm trying to remove the volume cap from my WM1A and WM1Z. I've tried going through the tutorial, but just want to make sure that I'm doing it properly.

My device comes up as destination CEW2. Do I change the destination to E2 to remove the volume cap?

e.g

Model: NW-WM1A
Series: NW-WM1A Series
Destination: CEW2 (103)
Sound Pressure: 0 (off)

scsitool-nwz-v9.exe E: dest_tool set E2 off

try putting the destination different than CEW 2

While I'm still trying to find a used/2nd hand official flip Sony CKL-NWWM1 for my WM1A, one of the links pasted here got me interested in getting the Benks case: http://www.roundtheclockmall.com/products/544398705206

Anyone know what is that other option which costs an additional $9 is? "Shi bunker black tempered film" Is that like a separate glass protector in addition to the Benks TPU case?


edit: order placed :)

first one is just the benks case, second one is benks case and benks glass screen protector.

The links I posted is much cheaper.

I see, thanks.
I went with roundthclockmall as it was clear enough in English, with plenty international shipping options and most importantly I could pay with PayPal.
I admit with the cheaper link with translation required and going through an agent was too esoteric to me ^^
